 ===== AmbientTalk/2 =====
+{{ atlogo.jpg?90|AmbientTalk}} AmbientTalk/2 is the latest incarnation of the AmbientTalk programming language. The language can best be described as 'a language for scripting your  PDA'. The language has been designed to implement distributed applications for mobile networks. The language provides built-in support for concurrency (actors), distributed message passing, peer-to-peer discovery, partial failure handling, ...
+AmbientTalk/2 has been designed to co-exist with available Java programs. It offers a symbiotic interface to the Java language, making it possible to instantiate and use Java objects from within AmbientTalk, and to pass AmbientTalk objects that implement a Java interface to the Java level. This makes AmbientTalk an ideal language to write 'distributed glue code' to make isolated Java programs talk to one another.

 To run the interactive shell, it suffices to launch the included **iat** shell script. IAT is a simple read-eval-print loop: statements are typed at the command line, evaluated and the result is printed to standard output. Note that the log and error traces are piped to the console.
